STOCKTON - A man managed to fight off an attacker during an attempted carjacking Saturday morning in Stockton, police said.

The victim was sitting in his vehicle in a parking lot in the 100 block of East Jamestown Street about 9:15 a.m. when a man pointed a pistol at him and ordered him out of the vehicle, authorities said. The victim exited the vehicle, but the carjacker then tried to take his money. When the carjacker pointed his gun down, the victim placed him in a headlock, took the gun away and struck him with it, police said.

Officers recovered the pistol at the scene. The carjacker fled west on East Jamestown Street, authorities said. He was described as a Latino man 35 to 40 years old standing 5 feet 4 to 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighing about 200 pounds. He had a mustache, a small goatee and a tattoo near his right eye, possibly of a teardrop, police said.

FRENCH CAMP - Authorities searching for a killer pack of wild dogs in French Camp captured two pit bulls Friday night and Saturday morning, the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office said.

Authorities captured an aggressive mixed-breed pit bull in a trap near Turnpike Road and Clayton Avenue about 9 p.m. Friday, said Deputy Les Garcia, a spokesman for the Sheriff's Office. An animal control officer captured another pit bull about 3 miles away in the 100 block of Val Dervin Parkway in south Stockton at about 10 a.m. Saturday, authorities said. Two to three other pit bulls that were spotted on Val Dervin Parkway fled towards Little John Creek, officials said.

Authorities were still searching for the remaining dogs Saturday night, Garcia said. The dogs are believed to be responsible for at least five attacks resulting in the deaths of at least 240 goats.
